The NEssBNGER-soY BILL.

A bill has teen introduced in both
houses prohibiting the sending of messen-
ger boys by any dispatch delivery or telc-
phone company or association to houses of
prostitution, low variety theaters and
ether places of vicious character. 1t is
known that messenger boys are now hired
out by the hour to bawdy-house proprie-
tors and inmates, and to keepers of "dens"
and dives" to do errands for them and
carry notes and parcels, etc. Society has
= deep interest in growing" good citi-
Gems. If it permits the fountain to be
corrupted, it must expect only foul waters
70 flow from it. 1t is not, happily, the
practice of all dispatch and messenger
services to hire lads to disreptuable places
as messengers, but there is nothing to pre-
vent all from doingso The necessity for the
employment of lads in messenger service

THE cholera, it appears, does not show
any evidences of abatement in the Argen-
tine Republic or Chile. There is nothing
to prevent its sweeping up the Pacific
coast. Il it comes and we have not vested
in the State Board of Health the power to
resist it at our borders, we viii prove our
selves to be almost criminally negligent.
The Legislature should not hesitate to
grant the Board the authority it asks, or
to invest the Governor with poser to use
sufficient means to carry out such purposes
of the Board as his Judgment advises.

The story telegraphed that Brigham
Young is alive, and is presently to appear
as one risen from the dead and renew the
loyalty of the Mormons to the Church, is
altogether too sensational, and about the
silliest invention the news-gatherers have
yet put afoat. At best it is only the sus-
picion Of the old serving man, White, that
the aged individual in the English man
sion near Lincoln, Nebraska, is the
Prophet" Brigham is very dead, else
all the proofs that go to establish death
are at fault. But if admitted that he is
alive, his return would be that of man SO

THE Santa Cruz Sentinel has "inter-
viewed" an Eastern visitor who alleges that
when his party appointed a committee at
Los Angeles to come north and spy out
the land, a local "agent" there attempted
to dissuadc them, saying, for instance, that
they would experience the same cold
weather up here from which they fled at
the East; that the snow was six feet deep
in Oakland, four in San Jose, etc" We
are not willing to believe the story. At
least, if any agent was so silly as to
make such representations he did not re-
fleet the policy of the Los Angeles people
They are not so shortsighted as to state
that which could be given the lie by a
few hours ride northward. We believe
the people Of Los Angeles are not to be
held responsible for any utterances such
as quoted above. They know that it is
provincial and mean policy that approves
any such tactics, and are above engaging
in it, whatever Il few misguided men may
do. Nor is it wise to publish such state
ments as those we find in the Sentinel.
They can only engender ill-feeling and
court the contempt of Eastern visitors.
The north has better work to do than re-
spending to the bad wit or msrepresenta-
tions of here and there real estate agent.
We know that the truth is the people OF
los Angeles encourage the establishment
of agencies of northern counties in that
city, and that reputable citizens there are
doing all that can be asked of them to aid
the effort to induce desirable immigration
to come this way. There should be an
end to any notice whatever of such small
minded matters as the chatter of few
men here and there who fail to compre-
bend that Eastern visitors are Just as
shrewd, sensible and discerning as Califor-
mans, and understand human nature quite
as well as we of the Pacific coast.
